Playstation blogs has revealed that the new Soulcalibur Lost Swords game (PS3 only) will be available this Wednesday in all countries for download. If we base our assumptions on the Japanese version that was released in February, we can conclude how exactly the game will be played.
Here is the trailer for those who have not seen it yet.
Lost Swords is a free-to-play, single-player game that is similar to the weapon master mode of Soulcalibur II. The objective is to complete various missions in order to gain new items and characters. Although it is a free-to-play spin off, those who were a fan of this mode should find themselves having a great time. When compared to Soulcalibur V, Lost Swords has removed ring outs and Just Guards from the game, while returning meterless Guard Impacts. There are a few other combat mechanics in Lost Swords such as assist characters, "weapon arts" moves, and a rock-paper-scissors element system for your weapons and armor.
Returning characters that have been confirmed so far for this game are Siegfried, Mitsurugi, Sophitia, Astaroth, Nightmare, Pyrrha, Ivy, Hilde, and Taki. The character roster has not been finalized yet, so hold on to your seats. There will be periodic releases of new missions in order get more characters. Producer Masaki Hoshino has also hinted at the return of Amy and Seung Mina on his twitter account, but there are no official trailers for them at this time.
Once again, the game is free to download so everyone that owns a PS3 should take a look at it. I will definitely be downloading it because of the fun times I had with the beta version. Which characters will you all be playing in Lost Swords? Any other characters that you are hoping to see return?
